Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

The cougidor and # 68 are awesome! I will definitely be using you when it's time
to build a cabinet! (Now if i could just find the time to get my cedar chest to you to have it repaired/redone we'd be "cooking w/ fish grease"!):tu

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

Time to get serious....

I'm having a dimensioning wood party this weekend.... lots of cutting and lots of gluing.... they'll come together quick after this.... I have another table over in the corner that looks almost as bad (or good) as this....

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/DSC00751.jpg

I had a request to build a humidor for the Commanding General of tghe US Africa Command.... sort of put under the gun on this one - has to be in Washington DC by Wednesday to catch a ride to Africa.... The General is retiring on March 7th.... The wood is all African Wood... Sapele is the dark wood & Movingui is the lighter wood.... I will be putting ebony splines in there tomorrow and pretty much finish her up.... It's kind of cool, I get to put a pin on my map for Africa now.... Got all the continents except Australia & Antartica... Watch Out Tashaz.....!!!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

Not very familiar with lace wood. But WOW! That is cool!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

that birdseye relly pops and the brazilian wood is very nice.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

All those humi's are awesome. Especially the birdseye :banger but I have to say, that Lacewood is incredible. Great job

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

That Lacewood is something else. How rare is it and how stable is it? What I mean is in small chunks will it move or crack at all like say snake wood? After seeing this something tells me I am going to be calling up my cue making and having him make me something heavy with the Lacewood.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

OMG... The lacewood is totally over the top. ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL WORK!!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

WOW The Lacewood is F'ing Awesome!! Fantastic work Ed :dr

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

Ed, those are beautiful! you are truly an artist with wood!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

I guess all I can say is.... I'm busy! Thankfully!!!

Should have some finishing up soon....

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

So my wife told me I am getting a Humidor from Ed. I had to send the money in, but I have no idea what the humidor will look like or what will be done for me.

I can not wait to get the shipment and open my custom humidor from WaxingMoon. I now have my first heirloom to pass down to my kids.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

Not real sure yet what I'm going to marry this stuff up with, but I'm sure I'll be making humidors with it.... I got a treat from my wood vendor today... I just have to show ya'all....

All of the pieces are old growth.... Richard at Carlton McLendon's Rare Woods & Veneers told me that they have been in his inventory since Carlton was around.... in other words, at least 30 years.

First up.... Muvingui or African Satinwood... This is my personal favorite of the bunch... I can't wait to get this one shined up.... You don't see boards like this anymore.... they get turned in to veneer...

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/DSC00860.jpg

Next up.... Some Eucolyptus.... this board actually came from Austrailia.... and is at least 30 years old. Ought to make an interesting box!

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/DSC00863.jpg

Last but not least... A very nice piece of Macassar Ebony.... again, old growth and has been in his shop for at least 30 years....

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/DSC00866.jpg

I can't wait to start cutting on this stuff!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

Those are amazing pieces.

Can't wait to see the finsished products you come up with.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

You sure can tell they are old growth. You don't see beautiful wood like that often any more.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

Back with a few more.....

Brazilian Cherry & Ebony
18" x 14" x 10"
360 Count.....

I like the tray set up the Brother asked for.... 1" deep full trays, 1-1/2" shorter than the hole they fit in.... so he can slide 'em back & forth just a bit and pull them out easily.... Plenty of room below for some serious storage...
